Through the Church Fathers: December 17

Athanasius 21–23 • Augustine Letter 12 • Aquinas Q61.2The thread running through today’s readings is the sheer nearness of Christ: in Athanasius we watch Him destroy death by refusing both secrecy and sickness; in Augustine we see the Word’s incarnation as the moment when eternal Wisdom stepped into the world to steady even the weakest mind; and in Aquinas we watch the moral life take shape through prudence, the virtue that orders every practical decision (1 Corinthians 15:53–55).Readings:Athanasius, On the Incarnation, Sections 21–23Augustine, Letter 12, Sections 12–14Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, Part 1–2, Question 61, Article 2Explore the Project:Through the Church Fathers – https://www.throughthechurchfathers.comPatreon – https://www.patreon.com/cmichaelpattonCredo Courses – https://www.credocourses.comCredo Ministries – https://www.credoministries.org#Athanasius #Augustine #SummaTheologica #ChurchFathers #Incarnation #MoralTheology #EarlyChurch
